The trip is slow and a bit annoying, having to slide to the side when large caravans that take up the majority of the trail cross your path but heading up instead of down. A single turn is roughly fifteen miles but luckily it is all downhill. It takes about a day to arrive at your destination.
One thing you have come to learn about the pit is the need for cover. At various points along the path stuff falls. Most often this is water, or some other odd liquid that you have not been able to identify. It falls onto the trail but in many places where the potential exists, someone has built cover over the trail. In most cases these are roughly made timber posts with plank roofs that cover the path. These sections are welcome relief from the annoyance, and dangers, of things falling upon the trail...and your heads.
Your destination is one of these sections. Upon arriving you determine quickly that repair work was being done on this section of cover when they broke through to a cavern. A quick look inside the tight entrance allows you to see two ancient statues, a thick iron chain is stretched between. It glows, a sparkling bluish color that moves and pops as if alive. In the middle of the chain is a large oval shaped block of stone, roughly carved in the middle is an impression. You guess the impression to be about the size of the key you received earlier in the day.
It is now well past sunset as you stand before the door.
